The Wild Sovereign Soul Show

Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder and guide, Lian, has spent over a decade studying and applying the psychological principle of priming - she explains how your environment shapes your attention and behaviour every day, and how to consciously change what is training your mind, body and identity.
This episode is Lian's All The Everything show… her solo space where she dives deeply into a theme that is alive for her, which, if you know her, could be literally anything - explored through the lenses of science, spirituality and story - hence the name of the show!
It is created for those who feel called toward a soulful life shaped by meaning, depth, truth, and love… for those who feel unsatisfied with quick answers or surface level takes. This is a rich rabbit hole that Lian journeys through alongside you. She speaks from her own lived experience and unfolding process… while inviting you into your own as you listen.
The LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the next one: Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, subscribed to our Moonly News email list and/or are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening.
In this episode, Lian explores the powerful principle of priming, the way exposure to words, images, spaces and repetition shapes what we notice, how we interpret events, and even how our bodies respond.
She traces the idea from its Latin roots through cognitive science, including research showing how older men immersed in a younger environment showed measurable changes in posture, memory and grip strength, and then widens into myth, from the Lotus Eaters to Persephone, to show how land and culture train identity.
She brings it home to the rooms we sit in, the clothes we wear, the pace we keep, and the symbols we wake up to each morning, asking what qualities our spaces repeatedly reinforce, and what future self they are rehearsing.
Listen if you scroll late at night without meaning to, walk into certain rooms and feel your shoulders tighten, or sense that your days are shaping you in ways you have not consciously chosen.
We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you'll receive from this episode:
Why exposure to simple cues like language, décor and repetition can alter posture, memory, mood and behaviour without you noticing

How the environment of the story of the Lotus Eaters mirrors modern life, and the way comfort and noise can soften longing and dull direction

What happens when you deliberately change one sensory element in a daily space, and the identity that begins to form as a result

Barbara McAfee, voice coach and author, explores how your voice carries early silence, family secrecy, cultural training, and unrealised gifts in the body, and how working directly with sound can restore range, authority, and emotional truth.
Barbara is a voice coach, author, speaker, and performer, with over 30 years of experience helping people unlock their full voice through practical vocal techniques and tools for authentic, flexible self expression.
In this episode, Lian and Barbara, explore voice as the muscle of the soul, something physical and behavioural that reveals where we have been silenced, where we adapted, and where we still hold unused range - not just vocal but all kinds of aspects of us. Barbara reflects on growing up as a secret keeper, how silence shaped her early sound, and how her voice expanded beyond what she believed possible through the Roy Hart lineage.
Together they consider archetypes as living forces, energies looking for a job, and how older cultures worked with them through ritual, invocation, and sound. They look at the Five Elements as a living map of vocal expression, how earth, fire, water, metal, and air each carry distinct qualities in the body, and how landscape, gender, and class shape which of these we are permitted to use.
Lian offers herself as a live example, including how partial deafness affects volume and self perception, before they experiment with laughter, yawns, and the awkward freedom of taking up more sonic space than feels polite.
Listen if you notice your voice shifting depending on who you are with, like you become softer with authority, sharper with family, or uncertain about how loud you really are, and wonder what your truest, fullest expression might be.
We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why suppressed parts of you often show up as missing range, pitch, or volume in the voice

How landscape, culture, and gender subtly train which vocal qualities feel safe to use

What happens when you treat voice as a set of movable elements rather than a fixed identity

There's a fresh episode released each week here and on most podcast platforms - and video too on YouTube. If you subscribe then you'll get each new episode delivered to your device every week automagically. (that way you'll never miss a show).

Dream analyst Jane Teresa Anderson explains how dreams process your recent experiences in the brain, why lucid moments and "special power" dreams arise, and how to interpret dream symbols through your own lived associations rather than fixed meanings.
Jane Teresa Anderson BSc Hons is a dream analyst, dream therapist, and author of seven books on dreams, with an Honours degree in Zoology specialising in developmental neurobiology. She has researched dreams since 1992 and works with clients worldwide.
In this second episode together, Lian and Jane return to Jane's core understanding of dreams as the mind processing the last day or two of experience, conscious and unconscious, then reaching back through memory to update beliefs and internal limits.
Lian brings a recent vivid dream for them to work with, filled with seeming absurdities, special powers, and a lucid moment.
They explore what changes when lucidity enters a dream, whether becoming aware sharpens the insight or interrupts the process, and why extraordinary dream experiences, flying, hyper speed, resonant sound, often coincide with moments of personal threshold in waking life.
Listen if you've ever woken from a lucid or unusual dream thinking "what on earth was that?" and want a clear, practical way to understand what your mind is actually working through.
We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why a dream can present as conflict without fear, and what that reveals about inner change already underway

How a lucid moment inside a dream can mirror a shift in awareness happening in waking life

What happens when your dreaming mind pushes against the edge of what you believe is possible

🚨Please note: there's a moment in this conversation that contains reference to abuse in childhood
Men's work facilitator Hugh Newton names the predator in men as a genuinely dangerous survival force, how it drives manipulation, coercion, and harm when unrecognised, and how men can learn to spot it before it damages others and themselves.
Hugh's life began in the midst of a war in Zimbabwe, then known as Rhodesia, and growing up in such harsh conditions meant that he had to work hard to overcome his complex childhood trauma. He began his self development journey over 30 years ago, and his work now focuses on supporting men to meet the parts of themselves that most people would rather deny.
In this episode, Lian and Hugh, explore the predator within as a cold, calculating instinct that lives beneath behaviour as a real force that can injure, dominate, and destroy when it operates without awareness or restraint. They explore how this part forms through childhood predation, abuse, and sustained danger, why it learns to hide, disguise itself, and detach from feeling, and how it can shape men's relationships, sexuality, and sense of power.
From there, the conversation turns to how predation shows up in everyday life, not just in extreme acts, but through emotional cruelty, sexual pressure, manipulation, subtle undermining, and the inner predator turned inward as relentless self attack… and what it actually takes for a man to face this force safely, take responsibility for it, and prevent it from harming others.
Listen if you want to recognise the part of men that goes cold, focused, and dangerous, and understand what actually stops it from hurting the people closest to them.
We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why the predator shuts down feeling in the body, and how that emotional coldness makes harm possible

How predatory behaviour often looks ordinary, polite, or successful while still leaving a wound

What happens when a man stops denying this force and makes it answer to conscience rather than letting it act unchecked

This episode is Lian's All The Everything show… her solo space where she dives deeply into a theme that is alive for her, which, if you know her work, could move anywhere… from the most scientific to the most spiritual, and very often a weaving of both… which is exactly why the show carries its name.
It is created for those who feel called toward a soulful life shaped by meaning, depth, truth, and love… for those who feel unsatisfied with quick answers or surface level takes. This is a rich rabbit hole that Lian journeys through alongside you. She speaks from her own lived experience and unfolding process… while inviting you into your own as you listen.
The intention is that you leave feeling less alone in your seeking… more oriented within your life… and more able to trust what you already sense is true. Listeners often share that they leave these conversations feeling more settled, clearer, and more deeply connected to what matters most… both within themselves and in the world around them.
The LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the one: Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, subscribed to our Moonly News email list and/or are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening.
In this episode, Lian, explores a question that can split a life in two… are you here to conform, or are you here to diverge? She speaks to the moment you realise you cannot keep shaping yourself to fit, the cost of going along when something inside you is saying no, and what happens when you finally stop pretending that path is yours.
From there, she follows the deeper pattern beneath it… The ancient roots of the words themselves, a stark 1950s experiment that shows how easily humans deny what they can clearly see, and figures like Socrates and Joan of Arc who answered an inner call that would not let them stay inside the lines. The conversation moves into the real price of divergence… grief, rupture, being misunderstood, and why "find the others" is not poetry, it is survival.
Listen if you have ever stayed silent to belong, then felt the hollowing afterwards, or sensed your soul asking for a life that costs more and gives more.
We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you'll receive from this episode:
How group pressure makes people say what they know is untrue, and what this reveals about conformists, divergents, and the ones caught between

Why divergence is not about being difficult or different, but about an inner truth that will not be negotiated

What becomes possible when you stop waiting for permission, claim your own authority, and let your truth be your vital role in the community
